Course Curriculum

10

  • The course is very updated and aligned with the accounting software currently in use, such as Zero,Myob,SAP and the updated laws supporting them.
  • Yes i was given industrial exposure through various events, as people from industry frequently meet at university events and share the experiences. Moreover, events are organised to give the experience of the offices of various accounting industries, such as ca firms, banks, etc., to know what a daily operation looks like and how it feels to be part of the industry and various offices. Tours to connect with people and build networking.
  • Typically there are two classes in a day, generally 2 hours each but it also depends on the course you opted for me,in my case it was generally 2 subjects per day and four days of classes and sometimes five days per week, but that is very rare.
  • The average number of students in my class were 95 with a majority of international students and it was the highest in comparison to previous batches, where the total strength was around 50.

Fees

  • The tuition fee is around 55000 dollars for a one-year master's programme, and to approximately convert it into inr we can multiply by 50.
